Abstract

Anonymous communication features in a sender based routing network are provided. A single system-defined communication address is associated with a first user and a second user in lieu of the real communication addresses of the users. A communication from the real communication address of the first user is routed to the real communication address of the second user based on the single system-defined communication address and a unique identifier associated with the sender. Anonymous communications may then take place between the two users without actual knowledge of either user's real communication address.
